Memorial Day we got invited to the lake!! It was awesome! We got to ride on a boat, eat lunch at pirate island, and go tubing. I did fall off the tube and into the water one time with daddy. I was a little scared but had my life jacket on. After I got over it and realized it was ok, I got back in the tube. So fun! A big thanks to the Lombardo's for having us.

Double tubing with friends. I am the one with the green puddle jumper on in the yellow tub. We had to have an adult to ride on the gray/blue tube.

The Lombardo's also had us over a few weeks ago for outdoor movie night. We went last year and watched Tangled. This year we watched Despicable Me. So fun! After the movie, they turned on some music and we had a dance party. The police ended up showing up. I thought they came to fix the music, but mommy said it was because we were too loud. All the adults thought it was hilarious that the cops showed up to a little kids party. Here are just a couple of clips from the party.

Happy Birthday Pawpaw!!! We had a great day celebrating! We went to Oak Mountain and fished and played. We did catch a few fish, but none big enough to take home. We then went and ate Mexican for dinner. Yummy! I had a blast!

They brought Pawpaw a special drink for his birthday. He said it wasn't very good, but it made him even more funny than usual afterwards.

Can't believe school is out for the summer. I am actually one of the few people that is sad about this. I absolutely loved school this year. My teacher was amazing and I had a wonderful classmates. My parents are friends with several of the parents of the friends in my class. My mom actually took care of 2 of the kids when they were born and my dad took care of the parents of another friend in my class when they had to have surgery. My mom is a little sad that we all may be split up next year, but what a great way to start school off. Here is a picture of my first and last day of school so you can see how much I have grown over the year.

The day after the last day of school, we had our end of the year program and I got to see everyone one last time.﻿

I love dance class and I really look forward to the recital each year. I love being on the big stage. I kept asking mom when I can get up on the stage and dance by myself. She said that maybe I could in a few years if I keep dancing. Right now I am planning on continuing to dance for a long time.

﻿Here is me in my tap costume.

Here is the video of my tap dance

Here is a video of my ballet dance. Mommy had a hard time getting a good view.

My cousins came and supported me. Thanks Kacie and Jordan, love you! My grandparents, great aunt, and parents' friends also came, so I had a huge fan section.

I got to go on a "girls trip" to the beach. We went and stayed at Mrs. Emily's family's beach house in Saint George Island, Florida. It was wonderful! The weather was perfect. There was a big group of girls from Emily's family also staying there. There was a total of 9 girls and Mr. Essig. We had an absolute blast!

When the mommies joined in, we really wouldn't look at the camera

Some of us went crab hunting one night. It was fun, but I was scared of some of the bigger crabs.
